The Lord Knows Me!

From Robert McKethan:
This past Thursday, I had the privilege to work at the Greenway Food Pantry.  Because of the COVID-19 precautions we distributed boxes of food to the clients in their cars.  In one of the cars was an older lady sitting in the back seat. It was clear to me that this lady was of very limited means.  When getting her box, she asked if she could have a birthday cake. I did find brightly decorated cake for her.  This lady was extremely appreciative and told me that she was 81 years old.  She gave credit to our Lord for her longevity.  I took particular note of her next statement. In that statement she said, "the Lord knows me!"
I want the readers of this blog to know that this lady of limited means was a great witness to me. Her statement has a message for me and you.  This lady of limited means was focused on her Lord rather than her circumstances.  In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, we also ought to know that our Lord knows each of us...regardless of our personal circumstances.  Our Lord knows us and protects us.
Psalm 46:1-3 - God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; Though its waters roar and foam, Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride.

Your brother in Christ, 
Robert McKethan

Hymn Playlist

Hello Everyone - One of the things I enjoy most as your Worship Director is the opportunity to play for you.  I am always humbled when I hear folks say that they are able to worship, reflect, and connect with God through the music.  I know that for many, music can be one of the best ways to experience God and to worship Him. I am sharing below a few recordings that I did several years ago of some of my favorite hymns.  I hope to be able to make some new recordings to share soon, but in the meantime, I hope these may be a blessing to you. Don't forget to check back regularly on this blog, as we are adding lots of new content throughout the week! In Christ, Justin CLICK HERE to listen to the music.

All Things Bright and Beautiful

Hello, Greenway family!  We are enjoying social distancing today with drive thru Chick-Fil-A at a remote picnic table at Price Park. Thankful that God has sent beautiful sunshine, fresh mountain air, and more family time to us during this season. After lunch, we took pictures of details in His creation that we found amazing! What things have you taken notice of? “All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small. All things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all!” Blessings, Max, Christy, Leah and Julia
